Built by locals

Made by people who actually know these mountains.

We grew up here. We've worked in Smokies tourism ourselves, and our families have been in the business for three generations. We know the owner of the backroad lunch spot you've never heard of. SmokiesApp isn't a tourism brochure. It's the app we wished we had every time we visited somewhere new.
